Sidewinder is a phenomenal pitch located on the Snake Face - the wall just around the corner from the Face of a Thousand Pitons which is just left of Triple S. Traditionally done in two pitches, but easily done as one. Begin in the center of the face at a right-facing corner with a roof. Climb this corner to the roof, and perform difficult moves above pro getting past the roof and then traversing left to a good belay ledge with a bolted anchor. Belay here or continue straight up past another roof (difficult) to a leaning finger crack (tricky pro, tenuous). Awesome!
